Louis C. Gapenski9781567932324, 1-56793-232-0

Like its predecessors, this introductory text teaches students the fundamental concepts of healthcare finance, including both financial management and accounting. It was developed to be used in clinical and health services administration programs, in which students are primarily trained for careers in provider organizations.
New to the third edition are coverage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the impact of cost structure on risk, a revised approach to variance analysis, and revenue.
